NU 315 - Pathophys. Concpts for Nurs.

Institution:

Millikin University

Subject:

Nursing

Description:

This course is designed to provide nursing students with a sound basis in common pathophysiologic conditions of the human body. The first several units build understanding of central concepts of cells and tissue. Subsequent units focus on organs and body systems. Emphasis will be placed on the processes within the body that result in signs and symptoms of disease and the effects on physical well-being rather than on treatment modalities. A firm foundation will be built for the clinical nursing courses that design nursing care for patients with health care needs. An understanding of the normal anatomy and physiology of body systems and processes is critical to understanding pathophysiology. Pre-requisites: BI 206, BI 207, NU 202, concurrent enrollment in NU400 or NU410 (or completion of these courses), or consent of the instructor.
